Applications

The Homelite UP06818 Bearing Race is intended for select Homelite equipment specifically designed to use this OEM bearing component.

Applications may include:

• Homelite outdoor power equipment
• Homelite lawn and garden equipment
• Bearing assemblies
• Shaft assemblies
• Rotating mechanical assemblies
• Equipment drive systems
• Mechanical support assemblies
• Bearing and shaft repair
• Equipment rebuilding and restoration

Because the exact location and function of the bearing race can vary by equipment platform, compatibility should be confirmed using the complete Homelite model and UT number.

Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific Homelite equipment model, UT number, serial number, mechanical assembly, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite identifies UP06818 as a Bearing Race.
• Match part number UP06818 directly with the number shown in your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation.
• This component is a bearing race and should not automatically be confused with a complete bearing, bearing cage, ball bearing, roller bearing, bushing, spacer, washer, or shaft.
• A bearing race generally works as part of a larger bearing assembly. Do not assume the mating bearing, rollers, balls, seals, shaft, or other components are included unless explicitly specified.
• Do not select a replacement bearing race based solely on approximate dimensions or appearance.
• Inside diameter, outside diameter, width, profile, contact angle, material, hardness, and bearing application can vary between similar-looking components.
• Inspect the mating bearing, shaft, housing, seals, spacers, retainers, and surrounding mechanical components when replacing the race.
• If the original race is pitted, scored, discolored, cracked, or heavily worn, inspect the entire bearing assembly for corresponding damage.
• A damaged bearing race can contribute to excessive noise, vibration, rough rotation, looseness, increased friction, or premature bearing failure.
• If the race shows blue or dark heat discoloration, inspect for inadequate lubrication, excessive preload, binding, contamination, or other causes of overheating.
• If a bearing has failed catastrophically, inspect the shaft and housing for scoring, deformation, or dimensional damage before installing replacement components.
• Bearing races typically require proper alignment during installation. Avoid driving the component into place unevenly.
• Do not apply installation force through bearing surfaces or components that could be damaged.
• Use the appropriate bearing installation or removal tools where required.
• Never strike precision bearing surfaces directly with a steel hammer.
• Clean the bearing housing and mating surfaces thoroughly before installation.
• Prevent dirt, metal particles, abrasive debris, or other contaminants from entering the bearing assembly during service.
• Apply the lubricant specified for the applicable equipment and bearing assembly.
• Do not assume that additional grease is appropriate for every bearing application; some bearing systems may use sealed or otherwise specified lubrication.
• Verify that the bearing assembly rotates smoothly without excessive play, roughness, or binding after installation.
• Shut off the equipment, disconnect the applicable power source, and follow Homelite service procedures before performing mechanical repairs.
• This listing is for one Homelite UP06818 Bearing Race only unless otherwise specified. Bearings, rollers, balls, shafts, seals, spacers, retainers, housings, and other mechanical components are sold separately.
• Match part number UP06818 with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
